Late post but great shave today. I was running late and just slowed down enough to post even though I’m still at work. I wanted to focus on my brush and decided to try using it without my normal 2 minutes or so of soaking since I was in such a rush. Honestly, I couldn’t tell a difference. This is already the softest boar I’ve ever gotten my hands on and the more I use it this month, the better it’s gotten. Just the right amount of backbone and damn near no scritch which is the only thing I’d change if given a chance. I do like a bit of scritchiness in my boars but this one is great even without it. It’s already splaying out nice and evenly and whips up a great lather without having to beat it into submission like I did the first week. 16 sprays I think today. I can’t watch my own videos and recount but I’m sure it was 16. I think.
